हार नहीं होती

लहरों से डर कर नौका पार नहीं होती,
कोशीश करने वालों की हार नहीं होती,
नन्हीं चींटी जब दाना लेकर चलती हैं,
चढ़ती दीवारों पर सौं बार फीसल्ती हैं।

मन का विश्वास रगों मैं साहस भरता हैं,
चढ़कर गीरना गीर्कर चढ़ना न अखरता हैं,
आखीर उसकी मेहनत बेकारनहीं होती,
कोशीश करने वालों की हार नहीं होती।

डुबकीयाँ सीन्धु में गोताखोर लगाता हैं,
जा जाकर खाली हाथ लौट आता हैं,
मीलते ना सहज ही मोटी गहरे पानी में,
बढ़ता दूना उत्साह इसी हैरानी में,
मुट्ठी उसकी खाली हर बार नहीं होती,
कोशीश करने वालों की हार नहीं होती।

असफलता एक चुनौती है - स्वीकार करो
क्या कमी रह गई देखो और सुधार करो,
जब तक न सफल हो नींद चेन की त्यागो तुम,
संघर्षो का मैदान छोड़ मत भागो तुम,
कुछ कीये बीना ही जय जयकार नहीं होती,
कोशीश करने वालों की हार नहीं होती।

- हरीवंश्राय बच्चन

The one who holds your hand every time when you need support is surely a good friend,
but truly a best friend is the one who holds your hand even when you say'' leave me alone''

Why not some other time ???

Oh God!!!!!! Why; why right now ?? Had it been some other, but why only today.
This is what we people do say a lot of times. Just when everything is going on as you could have dreamt, it actually seems why wasn't it only a dream.(hi hi..)

I remember that day really well when i suddenly got a call to come down and act (just for the background, OK but still i was there) for a cola add, with biggies like Amitabh and Sachin; being shot in our city. I was to report to a place around 10 km's away in an hour. Well this much time is enough only if you know you wont have a flat tyre followed by a road block all on this day, this day which you were thinking was a dream and then what you have to say are the words Oh God!!!!!! Why; why right now ??

Or the instance with my cousin, when for a well awaited interview, for which he was well prepared. Well like me he doesn't get late to reach there; but just finds out that birds are better in parks or sanctuaries not in the skies.

Well you can find that just when the most important thing is going around everything is surely not to end well. A good day never remains, for things we most await we are always kept waiting.

Well i just thought to post this as a friend of mine went through such an experience today. A gal he had been trying to talk to since long, he actually got to say her ' Hi' on chat and just then the BSNL authorities thought it is the best time to fix up few connections and there went his hopes .............. CONNECTION FAILED. and so did his....

Or be it when i was booking one of the most important tickets online and here it is my computer hangs........ and when things are to go wrong they really don't leave you a chance....... and by the time i reach back the flight is booked out..and all i am to say, Oh God!!!!!! Why; why right now ??

Well though i didn't have much to say of my own up here but these were just a few bitter moments which give a sweet memory now.....

Am sure, everyone of you must have had situations like this to fce in life at some point of time.... So come on... What are you waiting for... Pour in all those memories which irritated you once but makes you smile now :)

Am sure there will be many of them... Lets recall those memories today and bring smiles on our faces :)

Waiting for your memories :-)

Tomorrow always comes????

Well this post has not been completely reaped by my mind but is an amalgam of my thoughts and a few articles from here and there ( so please bear stuffs you have already read).

One day a beggar approached Yudhisthir ( ya am taking you back to a tale from Mahabharata) and asked him for some donation for the needy. Yudhisthir who had his mind preoccupied by something, told the beggar that he will be given the donation the next day. Hearing this Bheem his younger brother, who sat beside him ran and rang the victory bells of the court. Yudhisthir was astonished seeing this and went to his brother to inquire why he took such a step. Bheem hapilly replied, that today my elder brother has had victory over life, so why should i not sound the victory bells.

Most of us (and specially me) offtimes put on things for a later date, call it ones slothy nature or lack of interest, incapability or a thousand other things depending on peoples views.

Be it catching a train just seconds before it is to leave, filling up forms in the last minute and paying your mobile bills only after the outgoings have been barred.. If we go to what the Oxford English Dictionary has to say, known for its political correctness, it describes this habit as procrastination, which means putting off things for a later date, and at places it is also mentioned as an acquired habit (sorry but even i didn't get it why so). But of late this acquired habit is getting a bad name. A research study by Piers Steel, a psychology professor at the University of Calgary, can certainly give you a low( it certainly did for me). It says, “Essentially, procrastinators have less confidence in themselves, less expectancy that they can actually complete a task.” Sigh's!!!!!

With a bit of googling for everyone feeling let down by this research it is found that we do have a better sense of time management than others!!ahem!!. Well this can be explained by that even with our daydreaming and high thoughts ( not mentioning here where they actually end to ) we do finish up our stuffs just before time and even many a times come up with beautiful ideas that help us and many piers several times. However, what will certainly cheer you the most was this bit about Albert Einstein. It seems he procrastinated about learning to ride a bicycle for so long that he did not learn to ride one until he was 23. Surely, if he could do it then we shouldn’t be faulted for a little daydreaming!. And several times continuing this habit and postponing stuff you may not have to do it at all.

Well though this is not a habit worth praising, but what can be done the best is to keep daydreaming, continue breaking signals to catch your trains, but do catch them.............

The VIBGYOR of LIFE through eyes ......which cant see.

One of my friends just made this lovely plan a few days back and i thought I'll share it up here. He came up with this brilliant thought of planning an outing with the children from the blind school in our city ( lets say it here, a thought struck him )

On just hearing this plan, i was like wow!!!! what a thought and this would have been the case with you guys reading it. And i agreed to be a part of this, event (if you wanna call it). My friends planned out everything in just two days ,and planned it to perfection keeping every tiny... miny chances of error at bay.
Though i couldn't help them in the pre-arrangements but i had this in thought that i will put in all help i can on the day.

The guys had planned in everything to the clock.... be it the group of people who had to leave a bit early to make the arrangements at the farm where we had planned the outing or arranging all the stuff we may require in any case.

We were in all 18 friends and had 26 of the children from the school accompanied by two of their teachers. We all had this in mind that whatever we do we have to make it sure that the students can remember the time they spend with us. We gathered them at the school and left from there, even in the 20 minutes of journey i was surprised to find out how well few of them could play instruments or to the melodious voice of a few of them who sang in the bus. It was just in no time that we reached the farm, where we escorted them to the park and divided them into groups so that they all could be involved in different games.

I did talk to a few of them and what i found was that most of them liked to talk about how is life, what should be one's motto in life, that you should never say you have lost it, you should never ever think about it that you are inefficient and probably all such things which had been inculcated into them through there experiences in life. I did get to know about their specialties may it be as to give a superb massage or have a mesmerizing voice, to be able to make anyone laugh or the ability which most of them had to just touch and recognize things ( a thing that they had adapted in their life).

For hours we played with them, talked to them about what they like to do and they asked us what we like to do, we sang with them, enjoyed with them, and had a great great day, a day of just not enjoying ourselves but enjoying with an inner warmth in our hearts, a satisfaction of a work well done, a feeling of something great, just great....

Sorry for this

Well I just found a little thing missing from my last post after about a week, well it does sound stupid but here it is

Well these were memorable years. Memories many, many, many of them which i hope to remember for long but well with all those i always remember this one thing for which i am awake right now at 3 and typing it down. The one void of my life which leaves these memories numb; and which will persist.

It's a well known saying ' Don't say Why me?; instead say try me'. But now i don't think i want to be tried any further in life. I know this isn't possible and more challenges are sure to come but now i don't stand with any courage to face them. Well actually this was not the purpose i started writing this, what i actually wanted to write to all those lovely people reading this was

"For which tears aren't enough, don't shed them"

please don't leave any comments. I am surely not gonna read them.

a thought

God made it so..
Things are to use, and people are to love
Humans make it to ..
Things are to love, and people are to use

A walk down the lane

Readers disclaimer:- Before you read ahead it should be sure that you can keep things in your stomach and things mentioned in this post should not be talked about later; specially to my parents.

Well last night, i just started recalling my last two yrs life in kota and actually i just couldnt make out how to grade it. These two years were surely memorable, memorable enough that i would probably relish them throughout my life. Here are a few more additions into an earlier post of my many sweet memories..........(and a few bitter ones)

As i started recalling the good days, most of those came in the first year.I remember enjoying those lovely rains on the terrace of our house....................... and our pg ( paying guest house) was well surrounded by girls hostels which was one big reason for it. On the other hand i just hate to remember, sitting on those iron benches for six long hours (phew) ..... it just used to be terrible and to add to it the non-coed class used to have more then 150 students packed in it and one had to bear subjects like organic chemistry for two hours on a stretch.( miseries to the limit)

I loved those nights when we used to attend the 'bhajan sandhya' at Janmashtmi at the temple near by. It used to be a great fun with all freinds up late till midnight. A great time, celebrating janmashtmi.................... hooting, jumping and more of hooting. I remember those nights after the tests when we used to enjoy; enjoy in not knowing how many ways ...watching movies, playing cards, road tafri, and even ragging the students of eleventh (after we had taken an year of experience in kota) and this used to end at about 4 with the morning poha and tea .... i just loved walkin down for it.

I remember standing behind the auto's as our ferrari waalas (as we called them) wroomed on NH-12 or the one sunset which we saw in 21 days ( damn i just cant imagine how those #^!*#* could give us just one holiday in 21 days).I even remember those naps in the class when a lecturer used to cross the limits of boring someone in two hours ( well they actually made it the first time i took naps in class and they did not leave any chances that it becomes a rare occasion)

I really loved that cool breeze before the rain........ i hated the insects later. I loved sleeping after a good day of study ........... i hated to wake up in the morning and do it again. I loved discussing topics with my freinds............. i hated when it turned into and argument. I loved the meals on sunday morning ............... i hated those of just the next day. I loved to study and give the tests..................... i hated to see the results. I loved to put raids on the food items from freinds houses..........i hated when it was with me. I loved to study there for my aim........ i hated those times when i used to miss my home.

Just a quote

"Duty demands to be done to the best ;
result need not be put to the test"

Poem:- Just carry it on .....

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
when the road you are trudging seems all uphill,
when friends are low and doubts are high,
when you want to smile but you have to sigh,
when care is pressing you down a bit,
rest if you must but do not quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
as everyone of us sometimes learns.
and many a failure turns about ,
when he might have won had he stuck it out.
dont give up though the pace seems slow,
you may succeed with another blow.

Success is failure turned inside out,
the silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
and you never can tell how close you are,
it may be near when it sems so far;
so stick to the fight when you are the hardest hit,
its when things seem worse that you must not quit.

..Making friends in kota..

"We meet to create memories, we part to preserve them"


well this is a very good line that i read in my friends slambook. And probably the line that joins anybody back to all the good people he or she has ever met.
Well around two years back completing my 10th with a high determination and a zeal to excel i landed at this place Allen Career Institute in kota....the well known educational hub 4 IIT and premedical aspirants with high expectations upon my shoulders and a bit of numbness of leaving home all together i had to get started to make up my life and this is the same for any1 who comes up here. I did leave back my friends my schoolmates unknown to the fact of what sort of a company i fall into in this new land.

The initial enthusiasm didnt leave any vacancies for a few weeks but slowly it lowered and rose the will of making new friends in this new place &............for an introvert person this had no ease. Eventually things needed to be changed ( along time) and i came across different students from different parts of the country different cultures, different accents, different behaviours, but a similar aim. Daily i increased contacts with those who studied along with me in the institute.We talked about different things and found that the things happening aorund were quiet similar there are similar type of teachers ewhere similar lectures by them similar scoldings and ya even similar rewards people had the same thinking ewhere so overall the nation had the same brain but changed the getup. And so childishly each of us tried to convince others that he belonged to a better or developed city and eventually we learnt that how much was there actually at the places where we had been living for so long and had never cherished it before.
Friends through friends and more friends helping each other with doubts in the class, to bargaining in the markets started takin away the feeling of our distance from our relatives and enjoyin the group of friends formed here all knowing that we all are here on the same boat and it is better to row it in the same direction. And then my friends list started filling pages......PB, AC, SV, NV, NS, AC2,AG,KL,AR,SJ,AG,PT,VG,AG,SC,PC,JS,AR,........................................................
......and so did the class notes.:-)
Days passed we gave tests some did get depressed sometimes so by joking it away with him or just cheering him up in someother way others got him back on track. We played together, studied 2gether, ate 2gether and enjoyed many different things on even the rarest of an occasion to get back some energy to rejuvinate our minds to work on our main track.



From walkin out for tea at 3 ( late night or early mornin whatever u call it) to the cricket matches in the corridors of our house( leading 2 a speach from the landlords) from making maggi( or whatever we knew how to cook) to having a huge discussion on topics that confussed us from waking up each other in the morning to the nsp till night we friends used to be together.

We celebrated birthdays ( probably one thing which none of those with me in kota can forget) pouring anything that comes in ur hands on the lucky guy and giving him some good birthday bumps. though i wouldnt have actually written many things of the fun we had but now we all are away heading towards our destiny but on different tracks and all that are left are those lovely memories and a wish to meet those good friends back and as soon as possible..
